My Ego-C with Kgo battery review

[Kencalise]

Hi, folks! I got my ego-c today and i tested it. It is not as good as expected.
It is the spec. for my ego-c:

joyetech Normal atomizer heads(not the LR)
joyetech cartrige
joyetech cone and base
SLB Kgo battery 1100mah (bought from hoosierecigsupply)

I tried two atomizers and they both burned.
I dropped 4-5 drops before vaped. But, the nasty burning taste appeared after few draw. I don't know is it relate to the battery which i am using. it is a kgo 1100mah battery.
Could someone share their experience with me?
Let's share!

As per your instructions I am over here checking out your testimonial.

Awww, that sucks big time! It really does. Was your purchase from an Authentic Joye e-Go supplier or was it from a supplier that sells knock-off's?

I checked out the official Joye web site today and noticed that their largest e-Go C battery was 900 mAh.
My supplier is selling an e-Go C kit on his site with 1,000 mAh batts. Something is seriously wrong. That is why I am waiting for Joye to get back to me with a list of Authentic suppliers & how to tell the real thing from a fake.

Maybe your shipment is fake?

Look what I found in another thread. If you still have any of your old e-Go T atty's kicking around, check out this link.

The Joyetech eGo bats are 3.3v & the knock offs are 3.7v. The atomizer may not work will non eGo type batterys, due to the higher voltage. As a matter of fact, I tried the eGo-C with an eGo booster & although it worked, It was burning the taste. Take a meter & measure the voltage from your battery.

I believe the Joy eGo bats are 3.2v & the knock offs are 3.7v.

So, does the mah matter? Or i just need the ego battery that is 3.2V?

Ahhh, you might just have something there Watson! Very good point. Initially I bought the eGo T kit from my supplier last summer. With the smaller batts. Then the 1,000 mAh's came out. I bought knock-off eGo batts from him, knowing they were not authentic batts, but I thought that the rest of the unit was.

The 1,000 knock-off batts, believe it or not, have lasted since our mail strike ended last summer until now. Talk about getting our monies worth. But it's the atty's, that we thought were authentic (not sure if they aren't) that kept dying.
My supplier just surfaced and has tons of emails to respond too. But I will fire off an email to him tomorrow about your theory & let you know what he says.

In the event the atty's in the 5 pkg are knock-off too, then would it not stand to reason that the both should work together?

As to measuring the voltage, my batts are on their last leg. I had to dig out real old versions, that too are almost gone. I have not atty's to check out either. But I will save this page and let you know when he gets back to me.

Some posters have not had luck with their new ego C. This is scary. Is there any other ecig out there that is NOT a cartomizer or cart with fill in it. We don't want to take any chances breathing in any fibres. Tanks is all we are interested in. Two of us have problems with our lungs. No point looking for more trouble.

It is not knock-off, the battery which i was using in my kgo. i didn't order a battery for ego-c, since i thought my kgo battery is suitable with ego-c. but i was wrong.

Authentic eGo-T's are available in 1000mah - page 2 on Joyetech site. New Ego-C XL are classified as 900/1000MAH. Both are interchangeable(3.3v) & work with ego-t or ego-c atomizers.

icheck the voltage on my kgo battery, it stables around at 3.66V (no load)

Sorry, your right, your thread & post did say that. Had insomnia all last week and it's finally caught up with me, my brains are fired. I think I will finally get some sleep.

There should be some sort of warning posted on the web site, stating what the max voltage the units will work with.
This is a great lesson to us all. We should ask the vendors to post more info on their sites.
You were so excited and so eager to share your experience with us. I really feel bad for you.

On the up side. What if they were duds to begin with. It's quite possible you know? Why not contact your supplier and see what can be done.

I also find it very strange that the little voltage has made this difference as the atomizers are rated as sr or standard resistance. There is also another theory that has me thinking & it is more complex. It's the way the battery releases current while attached to a load. Genuine eGo batteries use what is called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control the power going to the atomizer & a constant 3.3v. Non Joyetech's may not use this. I know this only because I have an eGo Booster & it will not work with most non-joyetech batterys. I found this out the hard way & fried a 3 week old 1100mah LCD while trying to use a booster. Someone with way more experience & knowledge will conclude the reasons, very soon. I've been using the eGo-c for a week now & other than a light plastic taste - I have not experienced any problems.

To add, as far as I know, no one currently has Joytech eGo "C" batts in anything other than 650 mah. (Color changing led button)

The older ego and ego "t" batts are available up to 1000mah. The mah rating has nothing to do with voltage. Only refers to battery capacity (Duration of charge). The higher the mah, the longer the vape time between charges.

This is why I stay away from anything "EGO". Except the batteries. Gimme those batteries

Hey Toronto_Mike, did you ever check the voltage output on your 1100mAh Lcd Battery?
I see they have them rated @ 3.7v – 4.2v

Just wondering

Yes - it was 3.7v - The booster fried the logic circuit - it still lights up with the lcd display but just blinks

Thanks Mike.
I think it comes down to personal preference as to the wattage someone likes their juice at.
The KGO's seem popular as they are 4 volts w/o load and 3.7 w/ load which also seems to be regulated to maintain the 3.7 output.
The EGO's seem to run around 3.7 w/o load and 3.3 w/ load which produces lower wattage. I did see on Joyes site that they are now (or maybe have been) voltage regulated also @ 3.3.
So using Ohms law w/ a 2.0 ohms carto on both:
KGO= 6.845 watts
EGO= 5.455 watts

Botom line I think, is what is each individuals wattage preference w/ their juice.

It sounds to me like the atty's just running dry & not wicking enough. Take a small (eyeglass size) screwdriver & push the wick into the spike. Most are set level with the lower edge of the spike. Instead push it a 1/4 to 1/2 way in & see if it wicks enough for you.

I only vape 100vg & every atty I use I automatically start out by pushing it in. If not I get random burnt tastes from not wicking enough. For a while I was doing the whole pre-no button draw just to keep it primed. Now, I can puff it like a pipe & it still remains wicked & never flooded.

Every thing should improve. VTF.
